| This visual looks nothing like yami shibai but since yami shibai has ran out of ideas anything different is welcome |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I don't see how this is a spin-off of Yami Shibai at all, I guess I'll look forward to watching it anyway though. |
| No idea how this is even remotely related to Yami Shibai aside from some production talent on this show having worked on YS, but I'll watch it I guess.... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Is this short form or full length? |
 |
| What a weird thing to see. I mean, I love Yami Shibai, so obviously I am watching this, I just cannot imagine what the mood is going to be here. If they are going for Ghost Hunt levels of cheese then I am so ready. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| I've been checking if MAL is talking about the YS I know or was I mistaken. It turns out it is related to it. I love YS, so of course I'll watch it. I'm just so curious how is it a spin off. They look as two different anime. |
| Well this came out of nowhere. I look forward to it though, since I "love" Yami Shibai and am curious to see how they connect. |
| Agree with the guys above, no idea how is this connected to Yami Shibai at all. Maybe they picked one of the stories from the random episode and decided to do a full series on it, but I don't remember any episode with Ninjas in Yami Shibai, its all set in modern times. Either ways will watch when it airs and hopefully connect the series then. |

I read on ANN that Ninja Collection will be a horror with urban legend elements, so the same as Yami Shibai, but just focused on a group of ninja. So maybe this will be the connection |

| Let's this will be good because the last 2 sasons of yamishibai were terrible |
| "let's take everything about Yami Shibai and get rid of it, and add bishie ninjas, and claim it's related to Yami Shibai" If the eps are short I might watch them anyway, but I'm not expecting anything |
